Far from the scariest squid.

That one's simply named the big fin squid. Probably the human mind cannot comprehend its true name.

Ok but the environment of the photo doesn't help, what with the alien-the-movie green, the spotlight behind it and the turbulent water... Maybe in a nice blue lagoon it wouldn't look so scary.

Bad things happen everytime we try to pronounce it's true name.

Magnapinna squids like the one you show, are found deep in the ocean. Imagine even more insane squids fathoms more below.

Someone took a look at that animal, that one in the picture, and said "Wow, look at the size of those fins."

Iä! Hail to the children of the slumbering great one!

I think its real name rhymes with Fthulhu.

I was thinking more of the Orz. They're inspired by the original cosmic horror, but they like campers as long as campers want to party with them.

That is funny. You think you see Orz but Orz are not light reflections. Maybe you think Orz are many bubbles too. It is such a joke. Orz are not many bubbles like campers. Orz are just Orz. I am Orz. I am one with many fingers. My fingers reach through into heavy space and you see Orz bubbles but it is really fingers. Maybe you do not even smell? That is sad. Smelling pretty colors is the best game.
